While I don't shoot a lot, I've never found that I've needed to shoot 
for longer than 60 minutes at a time, so loading from the bottom while 
on a tripod is a moot point, especially considering that getting more 
than 1 hour out of a fully charged battery pack is pushing the limits 
of the technology on a single CCD DV camera.  If you have the camera on 
a tripod and the battery charger plugged in, then you might have an 
issue :-)
